A lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase executive Lorna Hajdini has been filed by John Doe in the New York Supreme Court. The suit alleges shocking claims of sexual harassment and racial abuse, prompting scrutiny of workplace conduct at the bank.
The complaint details how Hajdini allegedly targeted a junior male colleague, identified as Chirayu Rana, shortly after he joined the firm in March 2024. It accuses her of making repeated sexual advances and using her authority to intimidate him.
Specific allegations include derogatory remarks about Rana’s wife and threats to ruin his career if he did not comply with her advances. One quote attributed to Hajdini reportedly stated, “If you don’t f**k me soon, I’m going to ruin you… never forget, I f**king own you.” Such statements raise serious concerns about the power dynamics within the workplace.
Hajdini has denied all allegations through her legal team, asserting that she never engaged in inappropriate conduct with Rana. They argue that an internal investigation by JPMorgan found no merit in the claims.
Rana, who filed an internal complaint in May 2025 regarding race- and gender-based harassment, alleges that Hajdini drugged him and forced him into sexual acts. The lawsuit has drawn significant attention due to its serious nature and high-profile individuals involved.
Observers are closely monitoring the developments in this case. The next steps include potential hearings where evidence will be presented and further inquiries may take place.
